Appearance

Sparkster is an opossum knight that wears blue armor, and wields a sword that can shoot energetic shots of fire. He wears goggles to protect his eyes during flight. He has a rocket pack on his back, and uses it for combat or for getting to places. Under the armor, Sparkster used to wear a type of tan suit, and then changed to black.

In the second game, Sparkster can obtain a legendary armor by collecting the six pieces of the sacred sword. In this form his armor turns gold, as he becomes stronger and his rocket charges faster. This form is necessary to obtain the game's true ending. It would reappear again in Rocket Knight as an unlockable skin.

Personality

Not much to know about Sparkster's personality, as it isn't explored much within the series, though in manuals such as the Rocket Knight Adventures instruction manual describes him brave,[1] but also having a careless side which he can be easily fooled with such praise or flattery.[2]

Rocket Knight Adventures

After many years of peace, something was happening. The vile pig soldiers of the Devotindos Empire were invading Zephyrus! They attacked civilians, and raided the castle. Sparkster, without a moment to lose, jeted into action. He fought his way to the castle, only to find that Axel gear was kidnapping Princess Sherry! Sparkster tried to stop Axel, but it was no use. Axel got away with the princess in an airship. The extremely powerful blast of the engines blew Sparkster out into the mountains.
